Summer Days (1936) Georgia O'Keeffe |
If you you enjoy the works of Georgia O'Keeffe, you will appreciate this site offered by the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum. I had the opportunity to stay in a lovely inn in Santa Fe where she and friends used to gather for conversations and parties.
We also had dinner in the Georgia O'Keeffe Cafe, next door to the museum - very simple, very elegant. The museum is lovely.

Ghost Ranch gives you a sense of the beauty of isolation -- underrated in our society by today's standards. The landscape is immense and private. It helps if you like the desert, which I do and find it irrevocably beautiful.
Quite private in her later years, I applaud her sense of irreverance and a comedia del arte in pulling the legs of establishment-climbing critics.
The enclosed photo is not a full representation of that particular piece.
